Friars Mission Center in San Diego offers a variety of shops and dining options in a busy, shared parking lot. It features stores like Ralph's, CVS, a liquor store, and an optical office, along with several fast food restaurants and a Nothing Bundt Cakes location. The center is known for its high-quality products, including fresh produce, vegan food, and meat substitutes, similar to products from grocery chains on the East Coast.

However, the parking lot can be crowded and messy, and there are occasional issues with stock availability and service, such as at the sushi bar. Overall, it is a popular shopping and dining spot with a variety of options.
Long, long lines. Parking is often a problem. They now make you purchase detergent and other items separately, so I buy them on Amazon now. They discontinued Laura Scutters Peanut butter - the only reason I went to this Ralphs. Guess I'll be shopping somewhere else now.
